an update for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express (KB910721) virus

Gossamer skye

Please be aware that there is currently a spam email circulating that is disguised as a Microsoft Update. The email refers to an update for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express (KB910721), and includes a link to click on to install the update. The email itself is not harmful, but the link redirects you to a site that is not Microsoft and will install malware on your system. If you receive this email please delete it. We are currently working with the company that provides our spam filter service to block this email.

Thanks for the heads up on this Ukhti! I do make a practice of immediately deleting such emails just to be safe. I have our pc set up to get automatic critical updates for windows.

I just received this mail as spam in gmail. Jazakallah Khair for warning of this before hand.
The from address looked like it was from microsoft.
